How often should you deep clean your barbecue?

Deep clean your barbecue grate every 3 months during the barbecue season in spring and summer. On top of that, brush the grate after every use.

Built-up grease can catch fire at high temperatures and affects the taste of your next dishes. Weber recommends a deep clean every three months with frequent use, and a full top-to-bottom clean at least twice a year. Also empty the grease tray after every use.

1. Let the grate cool down and remove loose ash
2. Soak or treat with degreaser according to the label
3. Scrub off stubborn grease and burnt-on residue
4. Rinse and dry well before the next use

20 to 30 minutes.

• degreaser or baking soda
• brush
• gloves
